Beauty Queen Butcher

A shy, overweight, bullied girl exacts bloody revenge on her popular classmates.  Shot in the Quad-Cities!

"I absolutely loved the film." - MoviesMadeMe.com

"Either the worst piece of pop-culture perfection ever created or the best bad movie ever made.” - DVDTalk.com

"It is a little bit Carrie, a little bit slasher, and a whole lot of other things mixed together, but somehow still mixed well enough." - Chuck Conry, ZombiesDontRun.net

Influenced by the horror classic Carrie and 1980 slasher favorite Prom Night, Beauty Queen Butcher rips a bloody page from the book of 'high school horror.'

Phyllis Loden is a shy, overweight teenager relentlessly picked on by the popular girls of her high school.  To make matters worse, Phyllis has been entered into the local beauty queen pageant for the sole purpose of humiliating her in front of the entire school.  The prank works to perfection, with the poor girl devastated by the cruel treatment of her classmates.  But it becomes the final straw that pushes Phyllis over the edge and into a dark, bloody, vengeful place in her abused and shattered psyche.  Armed with implements of slaughter, Phyllis hunts down the unsuspecting competitors one by one to make each of them pay in the most horrifying way.  She'll have their pretty little heads... and wear the beauty queen crown.
